[small voice in the wilderness]

I don't know if I'm stretching His patience, but you are stretching mine. I TOLD you I couldn't remember exactly what your "lucky" referred to. And quite honestly, I don't care. Because, as with everything you post, it means nothing to the finished work of Christ.

You seem to THINK you suffer for Christ. Believe me, the suffering of patient people who list scripture after scripture for your seemingly willful blindness are the ones SUFFERING for Christ.

Irritating Catholics? There is a safe place to go, with no fear of being irritated. It's called a CAUCUS THREAD. You are in a town square thread. Full of differing people, voices, and ideas. There are also village idiots in the town square who cannot learn, see, hear, or think. They just wander up, with nothing to offer of substance. Just a few memorized but completely misunderstood verses to make themselves smug, and just enough knowledge to make themselves feel smarter but give themselves away with more than 2 posts. Give a village idiot a printed answer to read, a pat on the hump, and a safe place to go if confronted by truth. The village idiot doesn't suffer. Everyone else does.

Village idiots you say? What faith are they usually supporting? And thanks for the CAUCUS suggestion; I'm aware of them. One wonders if there's a "Catholic Caucus" in heaven as well ...
